Why must the devil be Defeated?-Chapter 235 - 234 missing

Chapter 235: 234 missing?

Evening had quickly descended.

It wasn’t until the sun was nearly setting that Shane emerged from the Royal Palace, rubbing his eyes as he prepared to head back to the Lazahad family residence.

“Today was another day of stuffing my head full…,” Shane sighed as he walked along the roads of the Noble District.

“There are still 224 basic Celestial Magic spells, 78 intermediate spells, 25 upper-level spells, and then there’s the Grant Magic—those can’t even be counted by ‘items’, but rather there are a whole 34 thick spellbooks…”

“All these, I have to memorize.”

“Ah, when will these days ever end?”

Shane felt he could no longer keep up the facade of being a good, studious student.

“Originally, I thought of mastering all the magic skills there are, which was just wishful thinking.”

If he really tried to memorize all the magic spells in the world, Shane believed he might spend the rest of his life doing just that.

“Could this be what they call ‘learning until old age’?”

Just thinking about it a bit made Shane shiver slightly in terror.

So, Shane had already made up his mind.

“From now on, Celestial Magic and Grant Magic will be my majors. I will absolutely not learn any other systems of magic.”

For this, Shane had even forgotten the four Elemental magic skills he had previously learned.

The forgetting of skills.

This was a method that all beings with acquired skills could use.

When someone was dissatisfied with the skills they had learned or severely lacked Skill Points, they could choose to forget their learned skills to recover the Skill Points they had used on those skills in the past.

Of course, this wasn’t something that could be used lightly.

Once one chose to forget a skill, two side effects would occur.

One: A skill that had been forgotten could never be reacquired by any means.

Two: Only about half or even less than one-tenth of the Skill Points used could be recovered.

Therefore, unless truly lacking Skill Points or having learned the wrong skill, people typically wouldn’t choose this option.

Shane initially didn’t want to do this, but he found that due to “Heaven’s Grace,” he seemed to be unaffected by these side effects.

“After all, ‘Heaven’s Grace’ allows the lowest criteria for acquiring any skill, and it also reduces the criteria for leveling up any skill to the lowest.”

With the lowest criteria for acquiring any skill, reacquiring a skill that had once been forgotten, which would be impossible for others, was not the case for Shane.

With the lowest criteria for leveling up any skill, Shane spent only one Skill Point each time he leveled up a skill.

And when forgetting skills, the number of recovered points wasn’t calculated all together, but rather level by level.

For example, if upgrading a skill from Level 1 to Level 2 cost someone ten Skill Points, then he would recover about half or even just one-tenth of those; and if it took twenty Skill Points to level from Level 2 to Level 3, the recovery would only be half or one-tenth of twenty—not half or one-tenth of the total points spent from Level 1 to Level 3.

This allowed Shane to fully recover all the Skill Points he had spent.

Because every time he leveled up a skill, it only cost him one Skill Point.

And there was no concept of less than one point in Skill Points.

Thus, when anyone forgot a skill, they could recover at least one Skill Point per level.

For Shane, who only spent one Skill Point per level, the consumption and recovery were in exact proportion, without any loss.

Knowing this, Shane resolutely chose to forget all four Elemental magic skills.

Even though Shane had plenty of Skill Points and really wasn’t worried about running out, the four Elemental magic skills were useless being kept unused. By continuing to keep them, Shane would have to passively remember the spells for these Elemental magics, which made Shane simply decide to forget all the Magic Skills.

Especially since using Grant Magic, it was easy to invoke the effects of these four Elemental magics.

As such, Shane felt there was no need to keep memorizing these four magics, which he had only learned up to Basic level so far.

However…

“I remember using these few magics to trick others in the past.”

Now, they were forcibly put to eternal rest.

“Am I being too heartless?”

With these idle thoughts in mind, Shane shook his heavy head and continued walking forward, step by step.

At that moment…

“Mr. Shane.”

A voice called out to Shane.

“Hmm?”

Shane found the voice very familiar, causing him to stop in his tracks. His heavy head slightly shook as he gathered some spirit. Then he turned his head to look toward the source of the voice.

Upon looking, Shane was stunned.

Before him appeared a figure that shouldn’t have been there.

“Lasha?”

Shane exclaimed in surprise.

The person was none other than Lasha’s personal maid—Lasha.

Her usual maid’s attire adorned her body, her black hair cascading down to her waist, and her ruby-like eyes staring forward, standing in front of him on the street as if waiting for him to arrive, facing the wind.

That scene momentarily distracted Shane.

But immediately after, Shane came to his senses,

“Why are you here?”

Shane unconsciously stepped forward, still unable to hide his astonishment as he asked.

In response, Lasha lifted her eyelids, gazing at him.

“I’ve always been here.”

Lasha let out such words.

“Always?”

Shane was dumbfounded again.

“Yes,” Lasha replied calmly, “After you left Lamijion, the lady and I followed you to the Royal Capital, we just didn’t show ourselves, and you didn’t notice.”

Upon hearing this, Shane was speechless.

So, these sisters, who also looked like twins, had been beside him all along?

“You’ve been following me?”

Shane furrowed his brows intensely, his gaze at Lasha beginning to take on a harsh tone.

Enduring Shane’s gaze, Lasha did not deny it but simply lifted her eyelids lightly, then spoke.

“The lady has been missing since last night.”

Lasha delivered such news.

“Are you saying Laischa is missing?”

The unexpected news shocked Shane.

Lasha nodded.

“The lady once instructed that if something were to happen to her, I should find you,” Lasha stated in a flat tone, “That’s why I was here waiting for your return.”

These words made Shane’s brows furrow even more.

So that’s how it was?

Not only was Laischa missing, but she also knew that there was something risky about this trip and had made preparations for it, instructing Lasha to a certain extent.

“What exactly happened?”

Shane pondered deeply.

Lasha was not in a hurry, just standing quietly there, waiting for Shane’s response.

Shane looked at this beautiful and attractive maid and sighed.

“Anyway, come back with me for now.”

Shane decided so.

“Yes.”

Lasha responded expressionlessly.
